I carry a Smith & Wesson 686 plus with a three inch barrel. I had gunsmith reduce the trigger pull and there is no recoil with 38's and very little with .357's. I have a couple a speed loaders, which if carried, gives you twenty one shots.

Smith 642 gets my vote. Lightweight and is a quick draw from an IWB holster. 442 if you prefer blue steel.

I carry a Smith & Wesson 686 plus. It's heavy enough to absorb the recoil when shooting .38's and most of the recoil when firing .357's.

What "advantages"?

More rounds, faster reloads.

I have carried a S&W 386 night guard as well as a single action schoefield in 45lc. The Schoefield when I feel like being different

Carried a Colt Detective Special for years. Still have it. Handles +P ammo all day and fairly accurate. Moved on to a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II. Nothing wrong with a wheel gun.
